Uttarakhand is likely to see scattered rain in 5 hill districts on 1 October, even as dry conditions continue across much of the state during the monsoon’s withdrawal.
The Meteorological Centre has forecast light rain in parts of Uttarkashi, Chamoli, Rudraprayag, Bageshwar and Pithoragarh. Thunderstorms and showers may also occur in isolated locations across these districts. No warning has been issued for any district.
District-wise weather outlook
Dehradun and several other districts are expected to experience normal weather. Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar may receive sunshine and remain dry. In the hill areas, light rain could bring a minor fall in temperatures.
The forecast for 2 October indicates dry weather across all districts. Similar conditions are expected throughout Uttarakhand on 3 October, with no rain anticipated during the day.
A broader change is possible on 5 October. Rain has been forecast in the rest of the state, with Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar excluded from that outlook.
Recent weather and changing temperatures
Uttarkashi received rain on Tuesday, while the remaining districts stayed dry. Snowfall reported in the mountain areas one week earlier has already contributed to cooler mornings and evenings in the higher regions.
The changing pattern is therefore expected to remain uneven. Residents in the hill districts may see brief showers and slightly lower temperatures, while the plains are likely to remain dry on the immediate forecast dates.
Conclusion
Light rain is possible in 5 hill districts on 1 October, followed by dry weather across the state on 2 and 3 October. The next significant shift is forecast for 5 October, apart from Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar.
